Flower Power

Flowers.

Not only do they look beautiful in our hair, but they are good for our hair too. We love our Coconut oil, Grapeseed oil, and Jojoba oil, but what about those "floral" oils?

One of my favorite floral oils is Hibiscus oil. The Hibiscus flower is found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, but why is this such a good oil? Well, Hibiscus extract helps to strengthen hair and reduce breakage. This is especially helpful when heat-styling your hair because heat can cause breakage.

Another floral oil is Monoi oil. Monoi oil is actually made from soaking the flower petals of the Tahitian gardenia in Coconut oil! This oil is known to soften hair- which is great for protein-sensitive hair. Another very moisturizing and softening floral oil in Sunflower oil. This oil is also rich in Vitamin E and Omega-6 fatty acids.

Lastly, honorable mention goes to an essential oil: Lavender. Lavender oil is known as an antiseptic, and it is also known to promote hair growth and treats dry hair while adding shine.
So consider trying hair products that include these oils, or add them to your products/D.I.Y.s, or just use the oil by itself for strong, moisturized, and shiny hair.

Valentine’s Day French Toast: Another random recipe!

If you read my Pumpkin Spice French Toast recipe from Halloween, you know that this is going to be another random idea that I came up with (maybe one day I’ll plan these). Today’s recipe features the berry flavored nutrition powder from Orgain. It’s full of probiotics and superfoods, and you can order it here and use code ‘ gorjessnfit ’ for 30% off your first order. Other ingredients include: All of these are mixed together in a bowl, and then I take a slice of whole grain bread and soak it in the mixture for about a minute before putting it in the oven to broil at 525 degrees (Fahrenheit). The strawberries were on top of the toast when broiled, and the bananas were added afterwards. * Affiliate Disclosure * This post contains a link and I may earn a commission (at no extra cost to you) if you choose to purchase a product through the link.

Popular butters & their benefits: · Aloe Butter : Highly antioxidant and rich in vitamins A, C, E, and B12, aloe butter is lightweight and hydrating to skin and hair. · Mango Butter : This butter is probably the most moisturizing butter I’ve ever used.

Rose Hair Clay Mask Rose clay is very mild and gentle enough for dry skin. Also known as pink Kaolin clay, it’s color comes from the iron oxides in the clay. This clay draws out toxins and impurities in the skin and hair. For my hair, I mix it with apple cider vinegar and essential oils (clary sage, rosemary, tea tree, and peppermint). I leave it on my hair for about 20 minutes and then rinse it off. Ingredients : Rose Clay Apple Cider Vinegar Clary Sage Oil Rosemary Oil Tea Tree Oil Peppermint Oil 🎥YouTube: https://youtu.be/9XkdJjFRp80
